bots can't speak here

also

@prime cliff @trim steppe @jagged plume discord fucks up presences for sharded bots if you can see more than one shard

[prime cliff]

Ah ok

[prisma quarry]

If you don't know already (I think you should):

One astrick (*) at the beginning and end of the word makes it in italics. EX: Bots are fun!

Also,

[restive silo]

that isn't even a question

[prisma quarry]

Just telling you.

[restive silo]

this is for developing stuff

[prisma quarry]

👌

[earnest phoenix]

do you mind

this is for development purposes

and from what i know you're not a bot developer, web developer or even a roblox developer

[prime cliff]

Roblox devs are lit asf

You nerds

[low niche]

In regex, how would you replace _ or - with spaces?

[lime falcon]

What language?

[low niche]

JS regex

note the regex

[inner jewel]

"(_|\\-)" -> " "

(_|\-)```

[lime falcon]

String.replace(/[_-]/g, " ")

[inner jewel]

or that

[low niche]

I already got it ignoring the IDs and idk where to fit that

String.replace(<@!?[0-9]+>/g, ' ')

i still need help lol

@lime falcon

[lime falcon]

One sec...

Ah I see so that's replacing all mentions with a space

[low niche]

no

now you have to use _ or - for a space between words in captions of the picture

like this: it is now ppmemegen top_caption | bottom_caption instead of ppmemegen top caption | bottom caption

[lime falcon]

If you want it to do the same as the above, but also replace [_-], then you just need to tack on |[_-] to the existing RegExp

String.replace(/<@!?[0-9]+>/g, ' ') // Matches a mention, replaces with a space
String.replace(/<@!?[0-9]+>|[_-]/g, ' ') // Matches a mention OR an _ or - and will replace either with a space 

[low niche]

like this? <@!?[0-9]+|[_-]>,

oh i see

thanks

[lime falcon]

Welcome

[lime falcon]

Welp. I honestly am not a JS master and I'm not sure what kind of error that is. Aside from 'The Promise errored'

[low niche]

ok i see

[inner jewel]

it works fine

besides the slow speeds

[low niche]

f**k you ISP https://circuit.is-the-me.me/5089ea0.png

[earnest phoenix]

@low niche That isn't a problem with your ISP iirc

I ran into the same issue

[low niche]

node stuffed

git stuffed

npm stuffed

[earnest phoenix]

what

[low niche]

can't install eslint

[earnest phoenix]

npm i -g eslint

[low niche]

i know that

errors out

[earnest phoenix]

gib errors

[tawny lava]

errors are for nubs anyways

[languid dragon]

ive been stuck on this one fucking thing for a couple hours now and if anyone could lend a quick hand that would be splendid

basically i want
http://my.daddy.solace.is.a.thiccbit.ch/47030.png
this to somehow return the invite code as a string

[sinful meadow]

need help

lmao

[tawny lava]

createInvite returns a promise

[languid dragon]

Yh im

Ik*

[tawny lava]

so you'll have to await it or use .then

[sinful meadow]

@languid dragon

var invite_code = client.guilds.get(users[1].details.server).channels.first().createInvite().then(e => console.log(e.url))

Should work

[languid dragon]

I dont wanna console log it

I wanna store it as a variable and use it somewhere else

[sinful meadow]

you dont have to

THat is just checking

to make it work

lmao

[tawny lava]

var invite_code = await client.guilds.get(users[1].details.server).channels.first().createInvite()

do that

[languid dragon]

Ok ill try after my shit

[tawny lava]

invite_code.url will give you the url

or whatever you want

[sinful meadow]

^^^^

[languid dragon]

Thank dad xox

[tawny lava]

yes

[languid dragon]

😙

@tawny lava i fucking love you, im so annoyed that all i was missing was await LMFAO

if only i could get those 2 hours of my life back

[tawny lava]

lul

[sinful meadow]

lmao

[tawny lava]

np xd

[low niche]

lmao

[sinful meadow]

You code in js @low niche

i forgot lmao

more like do you

[low niche]

@sinful meadow JS and Java

[sinful meadow]

Mind helping me real quick

[low niche]

ok

[sinful meadow]

Im trying to tag a role but in embeds

How do i do that

[low niche]

🤔

[sinful meadow]

Do you tag by ids?

[low niche]

Explain why you want to do that

[sinful meadow]

Or just @NAME

Because

I have a roles in the server command

go into #commands

[lime falcon]

Aren't roles <@&[ID]>?

I think

[sinful meadow]

I dont know

[low niche]

yes

[lime falcon]

To create a tag, not sure how embeds interact with role tags, but that's how you'd do it

[low niche]

^^^^

now to update my bot

and fix @timid mantle's issue

[sinful meadow]

Got it

@lime falcon Thanks

Check #commands For what i meant btw

[timid mantle]

kek

[neon pasture]

How do I fix this? Error: SQLITE_BUSY: database is locked. I have shards, discord.js

I know it means that your database is opened some where else, but I don't know how to fix it.

[uncut slate]

@neon pasture Discord.js creates a process per shard, and if you have a sqlite connection for your bot.js file, that means you're opening an SQLite connection per shard

[neon pasture]

How do I open just one connection for all my shards?

or isn't that possible?

[surreal peak]

Make a standalone class

in c# that would be a static class

dunno in other languages

[uncut slate]

Using Discord.js sharding, I believe you can't.
You might be able to work with multiple connections at the same time though, I think @earnest phoenix mentioned it being possible to have multiple connection as long as they're all SQLite

[neon pasture]

They are all SQLite connections

[uncut slate]

Yeah I'm not sure myself, but if you're getting that error I'm lead to believe it's not possible to have multiple connections

[neon pasture]

but SQLite locks the database for a short time when is something changed.

[uncut slate]

So you would have to do what Erlite is doing and add your own IPC framework to the Discord.js shard manager (which is going to be a massive pain in the dick)
or Find out how to have multiple connections somehow
or Pick a new database that doesn't use an in-process connections
or Use Eris

[neon pasture]

When I use Eris, I can still use SQLite?

[uncut slate]

Yes.

Eris doesn't create a new process per shard - it handles it internally.

[neon pasture]

fuck discord.js, hello Eris

[uncut slate]

Ay. I used to use Discord.js for all of my projects, honestly it's a pain in the dick for bigger bots.

[neon pasture]

Was trying to work with Eris, but it's hard to understand.

[uncut slate]

It is quite a bit more raw, yeah. Discord.js has lots of utility to make it easier for you.

[surreal peak]

Dont use js then

[neon pasture]

I made one command, just a simple embed. Took me 2 hours.

[uncut slate]

I just moved to Eris on my main project yesterday - the libs are quite a bit more similar than you'd think

[surreal peak]

in .net it would be as simple as adding the static keyword to a class lol

[uncut slate]

Most of it is changing msg.guild to msg.channel.guild and msg.channel.send and msg.channel.createMessage

[neon pasture]

But I like that you have a cooldown funtion

[uncut slate]

Ah, that'd be the commando thingy

I don't use that

[neon pasture]

What else?

[uncut slate]

Just Eris

with my own command handler

[neon pasture]

isn't commando fine?

[uncut slate]

The CommandClient thing is 100% optional

you can use it if you want to, I don't like it

[neon pasture]

It's pretty simple

You can add subcommands

[uncut slate]

Simplicity isn't my concern, it's just a thing I'd way rather do myself than have taken care of

[neon pasture]

yeah

But thank you for helping me

[earnest phoenix]

How do u purge msg from a user

[neon pasture]

ban the user

[earnest phoenix]

Ye thts wsy but im mking a purge cmd

python ftw

how do I send a message to a certain channel in Discord.Bat?

[lethal sun]

How to set that a command is only usable with a user that has a cerrtain role?

[earnest phoenix]

Anybody got a bot were on a command it set a role

[lethal sun]

Discord.js

[earnest phoenix]

Set a role? What you mean

Like ~>bb (task: set role to user)

Add someone to a role?

;(cmd)

Added user to role

But in a cutom command

Thats easy on discord.js

Like ;updates on

Or ;updates off

[lethal sun]

yes it is ez on js

hmm

[earnest phoenix]

I dont want that im looking for a bot that does it

Idk what you mean

🤦

Ur explaining it like your talking with mouth closed

I want a bot where you can set a custom command like update on/off and it sets/removes a role from them

There i dumbed it down for you

Ok?

Still dont get it do you

What tou mean by update? On/off?

You have the AI of a fish

-_-

Omg why did it come a "?" i meant what do u mean by update on/off

That has nothing to do with ut

My keyboard sucks

Well there r many bots which can set a role

[earnest phoenix]

You mean like a self role?

[supple ocean]

hey guys if anyone is able to be a bot dev in my server (needed only one command else u want to do more) then DM me, thanks

[earnest phoenix]

@neon pasture It is possible to use SQLite on all shards

It worked great for me

I don't know why you are having an issue

When I did have SQLite at one point, I don't know if I had multiple shards or not... 🤔

What I meant was my bot was sharded, but I don't know if my bot had more than one shard.

Eww autoshard

[lethal sun]

message.channel.fetchMessages({limit: 100})```

How can I make it so the bot can fetch more messages than 100?

[prime cliff]

You cant

[lethal sun]

Knew it

lol

[prime cliff]

The hardlimit on Discord is 100

[lethal sun]

smh

kk

[neon pasture]

@earnest phoenix did you use discord.js?

[earnest phoenix]

yes

@lethal sun It is possible.

hold on

[lethal sun]

alright

[earnest phoenix]

const amount = 250;
let lastID = msg.id;
let messages = [];
var nums = [];
while (amount > 0) {
    nums.push(Math.min(amount, 100));
    amount = amount - 100;
}


function next() {
    msg.channel.fetchMessages({
        limit: nums[i],
        before: lastID
    }).then((msgs) => {
        msgs.map(v => messages.push(v));
        nums.splice(0, 1);
        lastID = msgs[msgs.length - 1].id;
        if (nums.length > 0) return setTimeout(next, 0);
        messages.map(m => {
            m.delete();
            if (messages.indexOf(m) === messages.length - 1) {
                msg.channel.send({
                    embed: {
                        title: "Pruned!",
                        color: 3066993,
                        description: "Pruned `" + messages.length + "` messages."
                    }
                })
            }
        });
    }).catch((error) => {
        // error
    });
}

next();```

@lethal sun

I haven't tested this, but it should work

the amount variable should be changed to the amount of messages the user wants to prune, so an argument

[median lintel]

wot

[earnest phoenix]

go away

[tawny lava]

lul

[lethal sun]

lil

kthx

[earnest phoenix]

Is it possible in discord.js that it writes data to a .json file? Im using this for custom commands that are addable

[median lintel]

in discord.js

no

you'd have to use a module like fs

[earnest phoenix]

K

[restive silo]

if you want to write often to that, you should use a db instead

[neon pasture]

And JSON has memory leaks.

[uncut slate]

not if you do it right

but still, do yourself and all of us a favor and don't use json files as a replacement for a db

[earnest phoenix]

^

rethink is better

it supports JSON too

[restive silo]

well RethinkDB stores JS objects

[clear kernel]

so just a quick question, so Is it like possible to set up pm2 so I push my files with git into it, and then I can restart and it loads the changes? If so how do i set it up/links?. (Please mention me)

[restive silo]

you can just make an command what execute git pull and then exit the process so PM2 restart it @clear kernel

[clear kernel]

From inside the bot or like on webhook or something

[restive silo]

from inside but you must execute the command yourself

[clear kernel]

ok so just exec git pull and then wait and restart? ok

[restive silo]

exec git pull wait until its done if no err => process.exit so PM2 will restart it

[uncut slate]

or you can use --watch, but that's less than ideal

[restive silo]

yea

[clear kernel]

yeah i use nodemon earlier, but I don't want to edit files and then auto restart and fuck up someone using the bot (even tho no one uses it )

[earnest phoenix]

nodemon is shit

[clear kernel]

how

[earnest phoenix]

it's really unstable

and just terribly coded

[clear kernel]

hmm worked fine for me

[earnest phoenix]

It works sometimes

[uncut slate]

never tried nodemon, never had to, pm2 is pretty gud

[earnest phoenix]

^

[clear kernel]

ugh my whole setup is weird. I'm dev locally, with a local version of my files on my computer. Then I SFTP upload to my vps, and I also with vs code can git push to bitbucket.
Now uh how would I set it up so (vps) reads from bitbucket remote repo (using git pull/fetch)

[rare mist]

@trim steppe My bot has changeable prefix [prefix X you can change it to something not starting in [ to fix the issue
#mod-logs
Case:982

[uncut slate]

no.

[rare mist]

and how i can solve that?

[uncut slate]

fix your scuffed code

[trim steppe]

Not error in Discord

Error in your own guilds channel

[rare mist]

I fixed the issue @trim steppe .the bot will send this message and i will get deleted after 5 seconds. Is it ok?

[whole mural]

vps reads from bitbucket?
@clear kernel you mean so it would auto sftp?

[trim steppe]

No

[clear kernel]

Kinda yeah, like I want it so once I type a command ;update or something it will automatically pull the changes and restart

[trim steppe]

Don't error to the user

[rare mist]

Ok

[trim steppe]

Error to you

[whole mural]

@clear kernel ohhhhhhh

i do something VERY similair actually

I use a docker container i made to run my bots

[gilded plank]

TheDevFreak#2798

Bots

@void phoenix
@unique bronze

[whole mural]

those 2.

when those containers start they git pull then they python bot.py

[fickle solstice]

i need help with a eval command djs v.12

[whole mural]

so i can just do docker restart spacebot and wait like 10secs done updated.

[rare mist]

There fixed @trim steppe

[clear kernel]

hmm I tried reading how to make it a remote or shit but didnt want to cause master already defined

[trim steppe]

What does it do now

[rare mist]

nothing

[karmic lake]

O.o

[whole mural]

@clear kernel you can change git's remote.

git remote set-url origin https://url```

[clear kernel]

I think i was just doing it wroing or soemthing

yeah

I think I'm doing something that I really don't need to do (clone into a non-empty dir)

I really only know how to very basic git -_-

[whole mural]

i guess you could

git init
git remote set-url origin https://url```

[clear kernel]

Oh set-url not add?

ah

[whole mural]

mhm

[clear kernel]

shit i need to prob disable the sftp upload

well fuck, I also did git in the wrong directory

jackz@vps137730:/var/node/untitled$ git remote set-url origin https://[e-mail]/Jackz/insertbotnamehere-code.git
fatal: No such remote 'origin'

(i just did git init above)

should I do git add instead? Ok.. Let me try doing this. I think i got it down?

Ok. So I did:

git init
git remote add origin <the link>``` and tried doing ```git log```
but it says your current branch 'master' doesnt have commits
So I assumed that, somehow master !== origin, and did:
```[branch "master"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/master``` and same error

I'm just simplying trying to make the main branch be a remote branch to bitbucket, which i can git pull.

[earnest phoenix]

[clear kernel]

thanks for the help

[earnest phoenix]

no prob

[placid flax]

i still cant make server_count work

my api page doesnt even have a server_count thing

wait do you have to be certified before you can start using server_count ?

[median lintel]

no

[placid flax]

then why doesnt mine work..

[earnest phoenix]

idk

bc you did it wrong

[placid flax]

i didnt though?

[earnest phoenix]

post code

[placid flax]

async def post_stats():
    await bot.wait_until_ready()
    while True:
        num_servers = len(bot.guilds)
        headers = {"Authorization" : config.statToken,'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
        data = {"server_count" : int(num_servers)}
        url ="http://discordbots.org/api/bots/340354052715970563/stats"
        r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
        print(r.status_code)
        asyncio.sleep(3600) #1 hour

[earnest phoenix]

hmm

what error is it returning?

[placid flax]

it doesnt return any errors , it tells me it worked

[earnest phoenix]

what is the status code it's returning

[placid flax]

https://discordbots.org/api/bots/340354052715970563

when its run, it returns HTTP200/OK

as in

it worked

[earnest phoenix]

yea

:/

[placid flax]

but as you can see from my bots api page

it aint there

😐

[earnest phoenix]

weird

[placid flax]

yea..

i know

ill comment it back in and see what happens

[earnest phoenix]

@bitter sundial might wanna help this guy

trouble with API

[placid flax]

it simply does not work

[bitter sundial]

cough /stats cough

[placid flax]

no idea what you mean bty that

but i do see a #312614469819826177

which is new

so ill try that

after adapting it because the py3 version isnt using extcommands...

[earnest phoenix]

It isn't "new"

it's been there for a couple months

[placid flax]

yea...when i added it to my code it was new and the #312614469819826177 channel didnt exist..

also like the reaction images say these are blocking calls so i have to write around that and i dont know how

[clear kernel]

Yukine

exec git pull wait until its done if no err => process.exit so PM2 will restart it

in #development - Today at 1:01 PM

@restive silo The problem is, what if there is any local file changes? I don't want to overwrite them. I don't think its efficient/correct to commit locally and merge, (kinda a noob at git)

I don't think git pull --hard is correct either?

[placid flax]

i appreciate the total lack of help tho guys thankz

[restive silo]

@clear kernel just do git pull and its fine there is no efficient bonus at all from merging local

[clear kernel]

ok but local changes would be fine? like a new file or a temp json db ?

(when i do git pull --hard, as I need to)

[restive silo]

why do hard just do a git pull

[clear kernel]

I can't

[restive silo]

why

[clear kernel]

Updating 6e64227..e1102a8
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
        package.json
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting

i did edit package.json on my vps as I couldn't do it from local (issues with installing packages)

oh wait, wouldnt the .gitignore on .json file not affect that?

[earnest phoenix]

Do you guys know in js whats the code to remove all roles from a user?

[restive silo]

@clear kernel oh well then do -hard i guess

[clear kernel]

Ok. I got the whole git thing setup, and now down to the code update system. Getting fatal: Could not read from remote repository. 3|InsertBo | Please make sure you have the correct access rights 3|InsertBo | and the repository exists. . It works fine from putty: git pull origin master

do I need the ssh key somewhere else for nodejs?

[neon pasture]

Can you use MySQL with sharded Eris?

[restive silo]

ofc you can why shouldn't you?

[neon pasture]

Umm

I use SQLite, and when you have multiple connections, your database will be locked.

So was thinking it's the same with MySql

[restive silo]

MySQL has a server and uses querries so that shouldn't be a problem

SQLite dont have a server

[inner jewel]

SQLite isn't made for concurrent access

it's made to be embedded

for small applications to store their data

[clear kernel]

Ok, I tried everything to get git pull origin master to work. Works fine from putty/ssh, but from node exec it just says the error i sent above. I have added the private key to ~/.ssh/id_rsa

http://jackz.xyz/2yjwGO9 -_-

Somehow my permissions aren't setup for node exec, thats all i know -_-

[delicate zephyr]

Just curious with d.js does the autosharders do it at a certain number of guilds?

[clear kernel]

does pm2 not auto git fetch???

[sinful meadow]

They can if they want @delicate zephyr

[delicate zephyr]

Yea, Im just wondering if it has a default @sinful meadow

[sinful meadow]

No

[delicate zephyr]

oh

So I need to set it or smthn?

[sinful meadow]

I mean

you can if you want

But if you want you can creat a AUTO shard script

or function

[delicate zephyr]

im already sharding

https://github.com/Luke-6723/PhoenixBot/blob/master/index.js

[sinful meadow]

Thats the easy way

of sharding

Question, what is the purpose of the Embed 'provider' field?

[prime cliff]

Certain embeds like youtube videos have that

Look in #commands

[cosmic plover]

@neon pasture use MySQL with a proper pool

will do just fine.

[delicate zephyr]

Can someone help me out

How would one check if the youtube video is a live broadcast on youtube through the link
JavaScript

[inner jewel]

either use the yt api or do some scrapping

[cosmic plover]

@delicate zephyr cannot through the link, but if you use the api/whatever, it returns a weird lenght

like 9 quantillion ms or smth lol

or -1, don't remember exactly what the api gives

[delicate zephyr]

@cosmic plover I got it

Im using youtube-node module

[sinful meadow]

Ive used that before

lmfao

But i totally forgot

[low niche]

@tawny lava still not working

[tawny lava]

what error do you get?

[languid dragon]

wyd

[low niche]

@tawny lava same as before

no output and no error

[languid dragon]

do u need const { exec } =

y isn't it just const exec

[low niche]

it would do the same

[tawny lava]

that's weird

works for me lol

[low niche]

my whole exports.run:

const { exec } = require('child_process')
const settings = require('../../settings.json')
exports.run = async (client, msg, args) => {
    if(msg.author !== settings.ownerid) return;
    exec(args.join(" "), function(error, stdout, stderr) {
        let result = (stdout || stderr);
        msg.channel.send(clean(result), { code: 'xl' });
    });

    function clean(text) {
        if (typeof(text) === "string")
          return text.replace(/`/g, "`" + String.fromCharCode(8203)).replace(/@/g, "@" + String.fromCharCode(8203));
        else {
            return text;
        }
    }
}

[tawny lava]

try it without the clean function

not sure if it will make a differnece tho

probably not

but taht looks correct

[low niche]

still doesn't work

[tawny lava]

not sure tbh

I use that and it works

[low niche]

i fixed

just need to remove the [object Object] msg on outpt and error

here's code https://haste.passthemayo.space/fifitejojo.go

now I'm trying to remove this https://circuit.is-the-me.me/2eb9dc4.png

[languid dragon]

json.stringify?

[low niche]

it ain't json tho

[languid dragon]

i tried ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bitter sundial]

if it's an object you can make it into viewable json with JSON.stringify

[low niche]

well it printed this https://circuit.is-the-me.me/7826069.png

[languid dragon]

print it to the console and then get what you need from the console?

[restive silo]

just use util.inspect

to view the content of the object

[low niche]

same output

[restive silo]

i dont think so i use that for my eval so it shows objects

¯_(ツ)_/¯

you didn't used it properly

[low niche]

I fixed anyway

[sinful meadow]

Anyone use Jimp?

https://www.npmjs.com/package/jimp

[earnest phoenix]

Use canvas

[sinful meadow]

Id rather not go throught fucking 100 damn steps

just to install

-_-

smh

[languid dragon]

canvas is for web-based javascript not server based?

[clear kernel]

no https://www.npmjs.com/package/canvas

[restive silo]

@languid dragon there is an canvas npm package to use in node.js

How can I make a custom emoji for Eris?

For bot account, not for the guild.

[pine moon]

what

[heady zinc]

eh?

wdym custom emoji?

[inner jewel]

there's no "bot account emoji"

bots can use all emotes from guilds they're in

[pine moon]

that's what i was thinking

[supple ocean]

Hey guys, in python commands.ext rewrite this command does not work (no error msg tho)

[lethal sun]

Anyone knows how to create a leveling system in discord.js? Dm me.

[restive silo]

sure i do but there a tons of web sources which tells you how to do

look at anidiotguides

he did some tutorials

[lethal sun]

Also looking for someone that knows how to do the draw on pircture thing in discord.js

[restive silo]

thats canvas

you must install that yourself not an d.js thing more like an node.js package

or Jimp works also

[clear kernel]

Jimp seems to have more features

[lethal sun]

Yeah, Jimp is better than canvas

[restive silo]

canvas is fine for me tho

can i get a eval command d.js v.12 ?

[sweet fox]

same as one for v11

[umbral pelican]

wtf

lol

[elder badge]

someone help me:

i did public static Guild g;
then System.out.println("Command: !!help was used in " + g.getName()); and it errors

java is that btw

[lime falcon]

Did you actually instantiate g?

[elder badge]

sorry I'm new to discord jda wym?

[lime falcon]

did you assign a guild object to g

[elder badge]

o

[low niche]

i think it was <MessageReceivedEvent>.getMessage().getGuild(); idk

[lime falcon]

simply doing public static Guild g; does not make an object there, you need to set it to a Guild object.

[elder badge]

can you give me that what I need to add?

[lime falcon]

I don't know, I don't use that library

[elder badge]

fuck

[lime falcon]

Circuit mentioned something about the event, probably that

[elder badge]

[winged monolith]

how can you do a server count in discord.js

[umbral pelican]

use the guildCreate event I suppose

@trim steppe should i translate "footer_copyright" or nah?

[trim steppe]

If you can find a word that means copyright, you can replace that

[earnest phoenix]

Don't translate and replace legal declarations like copyright, have it in multiple languages if needed

Just advice from not a lawyer

[trim steppe]

ok moose lawyer

[earnest phoenix]

@trim steppe will i get credit$ for the translation, or not at all..? xD

[trim steppe]

Feel free to add your name inside the help menu, and ask for extra translated aliases for commands to better suit the language's audience.

[earnest phoenix]

😄

[trim steppe]

LOL

[trim steppe]

I'll put it though a spell checker

[earnest phoenix]

@trim steppe i've done pt-pt.json, now what?

is there anything more to translate?

[trim steppe]

I like how you named it json

https://send-me-some.discordmail.com/1508195081.png

im really sorry

[earnest phoenix]

[trim steppe]

im sorry you have to edit using the online github editor

wait

wrong person

did you do that tho

[earnest phoenix]

i don't think so

[trim steppe]

when making that, you can add your name at the top or bottom

[earnest phoenix]

ok

@trim steppe pt-pt.json and pt-pt.md made

anything more?

[trim steppe]

wow thanks

there shouldn't be anuthing more

send a pull request, and i'll mark it as hacktober if you want a tshirt

[ionic sparrow]

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix to get certified, should your bot have a currency of some sort and levels?

[languid dragon]

https://discordbots.org/certification

[earnest phoenix]

like would it help?

[languid dragon]

if its original and not buggy, it might ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[earnest phoenix]

lol nothings original

impossible

[languid dragon]

not really but ok

y tho

well develop your bot privately?

[earnest phoenix]

🤔 i guess

[languid dragon]

if i have any tips, make something thats new and people can love, something people want in their server for a long period of time, something people would enjoy and something thats somewhat original compared to the thousands already in here.

OR be better than the original

It's not impossible, it's just gonna take a lotta planning and thinking

[earnest phoenix]

🤔 like a discord game?? 😮

[languid dragon]

Also if you dont want people copying you, develop the entire bot and test on a private server, dont expose it to public discord bot lists until you've got a stable and complete version you're happy with, yano?

[earnest phoenix]

Oh yeah! thats good idea ;3

ill probs use that

WAIT

@languid dragon is it original to do that?

[languid dragon]

to do what?

[earnest phoenix]

the bot thing private

[languid dragon]

creating a bot in a private discord server has nothing to do with originality lmfao

[earnest phoenix]

Cya 😄

[shrewd field]

Hello can someone help me in making process.exit run by pm2
I am trying to make a restart bot command

My purpose is making the bot stay online 24/7 even when my pc is powered off

[stone kiln]

only possible to run it 24/7 is in a VPS

not possible when pc is powered off

[shrewd field]

Ok

How can I setup a vps

[stone kiln]

buy one 😂

[shrewd field]

I have heroku

Is it a good vps

[stone kiln]

Heroku is bleugh

[shrewd field]

Bluegh

??

U mean good

Or bad

[inner jewel]

heroku can't handle almost anything

[shrewd field]

Ok

Then what free alternative I have

[stone kiln]

nothing

free = bad

[shrewd field]

Or the cheapest good vps

Ok

Cheapest vps

[stone kiln]

search on the internet

[weak parrot]

^^

[inner jewel]

https://lmgtfy.com/?q=good+cheap+vps

[stone kiln]

^

use that

@inner jewel you forgot to add after the lmgtfy the .com

[inner jewel]

blame mobile

[shrewd field]

Ok how do I set it up

When I buy

[languid dragon]

There should be tutorials on how to do it with the VPS provider

[shrewd field]

Ok

[stone kiln]

and if not just search google

on how to do that

or Youtube

[shrewd field]

Hey

On one vps how many bots can I host

[stone kiln]

1

[shrewd field]

Only

1

Ok

[shy flicker]

@stone kiln my bot is in free VPS

What do you say about it?

Isnt it good??

[stone kiln]

free is worse then payed

[shy flicker]

Ugh look at my bot fisrt

[stone kiln]

and free has a lot of draw backs

[shy flicker]

🤦

First see my bot

[shrewd field]

ok thanks that is what i have chosen

[neon pasture]

How do I start sharding on Eris?

[earnest phoenix]

Morning everyone

[winged osprey]

@neon pasture in your eris client options you can set maxShards to the number of shards

you can also set maxShards to auto to use the recommended discord amount

[neon pasture]

and that is 2.5k right?

[winged osprey]

discord recommends a shard every 1k guilds, but you don't have to shard at all until you hit 2.5k

[neon pasture]

and you guys would recommend 1.5k right?

[winged osprey]

eh its best to shard around 2100-2200, bc u start getting dead guilds around there

[neon pasture]

Everyone told me to start sharding with 1k guilds.

But where do I place maxShards?

Inside new eris?

[winged osprey]

yeah

2nd parameter

new Eris('token', { options here });

[neon pasture]

Is there a doc for?

[winged osprey]

thx clipboard

idk what that was

https://abal.moe/Eris/docs/Client

[earnest phoenix]

Isn't Eris notorious for bad documentation?

[winged osprey]

eh eris docs are alright

[uncut slate]

compared to D.js docs, eris docs are trash, but eris docs are fine to me

[earnest phoenix]

d.js docs are so nice

[neon pasture]

I have: maxShards: 2, but it only send the bot.on message once.

Doesn't it need to send it twice?

[winged osprey]

no

each shard only handles a fraction of your guilds

[earnest phoenix]

^

[neon pasture]

So I can count up all the guilds with client.guilds.size? right?

[uncut slate]

Yes, you can

in the case of Eris, just don't worry about sharding

at all

[neon pasture]

that's cool

is it .size or .memberCount?

[uncut slate]

there is nothing you need to do for sharding specifically other than set your config.shardCount to auto

client.guilds.size

[neon pasture]

shardCount?

I only did maxShards.

[uncut slate]

oh yeah, my bad

it's maxShards

[neon pasture]

That is so simple then

[uncut slate]

set maxShards to auto (or your own value) and that's all you need to worry about

[neon pasture]

way better then discord.js

[uncut slate]

yeah

the rest is taken care of internally

[neon pasture]

How do I see how many shards there are running?

with auto

[uncut slate]

client.shards.size

IIRC

[neon pasture]

that's cool

[uncut slate]

yeah

[neon pasture]

Thanks for helping me*

[uncut slate]

don't worry you'll probably have more questions

[earnest phoenix]

We're always glad to help!

Just call 811 before you code!

[neon pasture]

You guys are way better then the discord.js server

811?

[earnest phoenix]

United States call before you dig

[neon pasture]

safe digging.

why lol

Why doesn't this return client.shards.size + client.guilds.size; work?

[uncut slate]

because both of those are integers

so you're adding them up

[neon pasture]

I'm so noob lol

Forgot about that.

[uncut slate]

I wouldn't say that's a good way to display them either

right next to each other like that

[neon pasture]

Was testing

var test = `${client.shards.size} ${client.guilds.size}`; return test;

This should work right?

[shrewd field]

hey i have an unban command but it only works on one person whom i put his id in and the reason doesnt appear.
how can i make it to unban an id that i put and send the user u have been unbanned from ${guild.name}. Thank you

[neon pasture]

discord.js?

[shrewd field]

yep

[neon pasture]

You know we can't spoon-feed right?

[shrewd field]

i know

[neon pasture]

okay good

[shrewd field]

look

wait

[neon pasture]

Wouldn't ask help to me if I was you 😉

[prime cliff]

He has been spoonfed too much tbh why cant you figure out something so simple?

[shrewd field]

http://prntscr.com/gyjrho

huh

i wasn't spoon fed

[neon pasture]

message.channel.send

[shrewd field]

send what

[neon pasture]

never mind

isn't it client.user.username?

[shrewd field]

ok

[neon pasture]

What is the error btw?

[shrewd field]

how can i make it do a person's id

[neon pasture]

user.id

[inner jewel]

arguments

[lethal sun]

yes

args

[prime cliff]

@shrewd field Let me guess you want to get the banned user by id?

[shrewd field]

umm

jefree

i have his id

i want to unban him when i do unban (id)

[prime cliff]

Yea but you want to get the username of a person by banned id

[shrewd field]

i already have it

in the ban command

it gives me the banned id

[inner jewel]

you do message.content === prefix + "unban"

[shrewd field]

ya

[inner jewel]

which makes it impossible to receive args

[shrewd field]

why u need args

[inner jewel]

to receive the id

.-.

[shrewd field]

i dont get it

[inner jewel]

split the message content

[prime cliff]

Oh

[inner jewel]

on spaces

[prime cliff]

Oh lol nice one @inner jewel

[inner jewel]

if the first part is === prefix + "unban"

the id is the second

check if the second actually exists tho

[shrewd field]

then

u mean

prefix + "unban" then message.content.fetchID

or something like that

[inner jewel]

what

ni

no*

learn about string splitting

google is your friend

[prime cliff]

You need to get the argument from the message.content @shrewd field

[shrewd field]

what argument

[prime cliff]

🤦

[shrewd field]

can u give examples

[prime cliff]

No

No spoonfeeding

[neon pasture]

I'm so nub lol, I used .client. When I have this: var bot = new Eris.CommandClient.

[prime cliff]

@inner jewel i explained it to him in a simple way and he still dosent get it ;-;

[shrewd field]

which way

ok

so i need to do this

let args = message.content.split(" ").slice(1);

[restive silo]

https://anidiotsguide.gitbooks.io/discord-js-bot-guide/examples/command-with-arguments.html

read that

[shrewd field]

ok

then

[restive silo]

args are explained there

[shrewd field]

what do i do after reading

[restive silo]

you edit your code

[shrewd field]

and add

[restive silo]

the stuff from the tutorial

yes

[shrewd field]

add what the stuff from there

[earnest phoenix]

Hi deni

[shrewd field]

hi

[earnest phoenix]

I finally got custom playing messages to work on my PC 😄

[inner jewel]

don't keep asking for spoonfeeding, that will get you nowhere

[shrewd field]

ok

demi

how did u get the custom playing messages

[inner jewel]

sending a gateway presence update

[shrewd field]

when i do client.setgame("Playing in 2 servers") it wont work

[neon pasture]

Why isn't this working: maxShards: auto?

auto is not defined

[inner jewel]

maxShards: 'auto'

Settings > Games > Select app > Rename > Turn on overlay @shrewd field

[shrewd field]

ok then

[tawny lava]

wait why turn on overlay?

[shrewd field]

ya

[earnest phoenix]

Idk but i did and it work so

[shrewd field]

u mean for bots

or humans

[earnest phoenix]

humans

[tawny lava]

that's not for bots lul

[shrewd field]

ohh

ok

[inner jewel]

it's Presence#setGame(Game.of("Thrones")) for me

[shrewd field]

i was wondering what is for bots

[inner jewel]

:^)

[shrewd field]

ok

[earnest phoenix]

yeah that

[inner jewel]

no it won't work for you

[tawny lava]

that's not discord.js

[inner jewel]

^

[tawny lava]

so it won't work for you

[shrewd field]

what is discord.js

[earnest phoenix]

ik

[shrewd field]

this

[tawny lava]

read the docs

[earnest phoenix]

n.js

[tawny lava]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/general/welcome

[earnest phoenix]

i user node.js (discord.js)

...

[prime cliff]

This guy is so dense >_<

[inner jewel]

maybe because setPresence returns nothing

please, go learn JS basics

you'll get nowhere without learning at least that

[shrewd field]

ok

i did learn that

[uncut slate]

setPresence returns a promise, which is recognized as an object by Discord.js

if your object doesn't have a content, embed or file key (which a promise doesn't) you have no message content

[shrewd field]

it has a content

what do u mean

[uncut slate]

It doesn't, at least your screenshot there doesn't

I mean what I just said. Read it.

[shrewd field]

how could i make it have

[uncut slate]

What do you want the content to be?

[shrewd field]

if it is like this

http://prntscr.com/gyk29q

will it be correct

[earnest phoenix]

im a bot now :P#

[tawny lava]

try it

[neon pasture]

SSD 1

[shrewd field]

better

[neon pasture]

I only use 100MB

[shrewd field]

is it enough for a bot

[tawny lava]

I use 300mb but I have the 4gb ssd 2 for some reason

[shrewd field]

that is not like a professtional bot

[tawny lava]

@shrewd field more than enough

you get 2 gbs

[shrewd field]

ok

thanks

[neon pasture]

bot.user.editStatus("online", "Testing");

What's wrong?

should it be the closest to my location

k thanks

[earnest phoenix]

What does my playing message say to you?

[prime cliff]

@earnest phoenix visual studio code v2

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[lethal sun]

How to make so when you start up the bot the console send a message with the server count? Discord.js

or even send a message in a guild with the server count

not dbl server count

[stone kiln]

client.guilds.size

gives you the guilds size

[prime cliff]

@lethal sun not sure but the client should have a ready event that fires

And what computerfreaker said

[lethal sun]

ok imma check that out

thanks

[stone kiln]

i have it in my bot

so i know that it works 😛

[earnest phoenix]

do you even d.js

@Deni#0274 choose the one your users will be nearest to...

dbclient.postStats("17", (err, res) => {
   if(err) {
       console.error(err)
   } else {
       console.log(res)
   }
})```

any ide why it shows a error

[carmine berry]

"17"

[umbral pelican]

because you're using some weird package

[carmine berry]

pretty sure in the server count example it says it needs to be a number not a string

[fleet epoch]

const dbl = require(discord-bot-list)

oh so get rid of quotes?

[carmine berry]

yep

[earnest phoenix]

Why have a dependency just for posting ur stats

Its easier to just do it manually
